MAC x Proenza Schouler (April 24, 2014)

[cr8zy4MAC]

No, its Naimies. They're like a dept store, and Sephora all in one. They carry lots of makeup, skincare, and hair styling brands. Nars, Mufe, Too Faced, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Too Faced, Smashbox (all 40% off) and so much more! Once you become a Pro member you get the pro discount on everything. About 90% of the brands are discounted at 40%. Mac is 20%, Limecrime, Temptu, Embryolisse, and a few others are 30%. They're like your 1 stop shop lol. You can upload your documents online and if I remember correctly the turn around time for my approval was about 2 days. So its pretty quick. Hope that helps a bit

Thanks. I just checked out their website. When I typed "MAC" into their search bar, it indicated I had to go to their retail store to purchase from the MAC line. There is no Naimies around here. That's a sad thing!

It looks sorta more like morange in the first pic? It's weird, it can look so different on different people

No, its not like Morange.

A lot of it can be the camera/lighting. Reds/Oranges can be very difficult to photograph & get an accurate color read. That & ones own lip coloring can turn the shade.

Mangrove on me looks just like it does on her in the second/blonde pic.

I just did the same thing. I have no intention of buying anything from this collection but it made me feel good that I could've because the blushes and lipstick I admired are still available. Now, I'm backing away to observe from the sidelines.

Yeah I know exactly what was going to happen if I did yet these. I get them use them a few times. Never touch them again because their too pretty then swap them away. lol

It was totally nice to be able to order them online, unlike MAC All About Orange lipstick (Which was made Permanent!!!!!).

well the blushes are still up so I lost the bet

Hi all
I just joined today. I previously visited the site whilst searching for NC42/43-appropriate nude lipsticks, one of the Rihanna x MAC collections last year and for the MAC x Proenza collection (that I actually lost sleep over last night, ugh). I came on today as well to say that Ocean City was up on MAC and saw that users were already aware but I still decided to join so I can help out in the future.
I hope you all got thru with your orders and don't have to resort to any eBay seller's exorbitant prices.

I got your blush problem too. At least I wasn't team buy all the things. Team low buy helps me make informed decisions. Lol. Instead of my usual oh how pretty (click!) oh look at that! (Click)....

Probably at least 40 or 50 bucks.

Thanks so much @danisheree !

No, certain brands aren't available for purchase online BUT you can order over the phone. I'm in NY and thats how I place all my orders. Shipping is usually around $8-$9 so I usually order enough to make up for it. They're pretty quick too. Like 3-4 days via Fed Ex. Once you give them a call, your Pro info is automatically in their system. Customer service is amazing as well!!

 

[Mac-Guy]

Just called PRO CS to see if maybe the lack of discount was an error and they said it wasn't, so booooo.

Thought I'd pass that along.

Thanks for letting us know. The discount was too good to be true anyway.

Welp, I caved and ordered Ocean City after I swore I was gonna skip lol.I figured skipper's remorse is worse than buyer's remorse.

Girl, I did the exact same thing!!! Lol

Team Pale NW x Mangrove.

Thanks for the alert, I wasn't even going to try because I thought i wouldnt make it being out of town waiting on a baby. I got ocean city with overnight. shocked its still there!

 

[elegant-one]

Well, well, well, MAC is finally bumping up the stock on launch day

I think that was one of the complaints I gave them in my 'notes'

I thought the blushes would be gone in a blink

 

[NYCBeautyJunkie]

I was so shocked to have been able to order both blushes just now, lol.

Yay MAC for not making this a crazy scene! I can't wait to receive them, and next day shipping is icing on the cake!

It really was. I remember it applying when I got my Archie's Girls last year, but I don't think I've bought any special packaging since then. And I certainly never bothered with anything from a couture collection before. But I figured it was worth calling and checking.

Ordered Ocean City for myself anyway. Never had an ombre blush before, and I've been loving the look of this one so hard!

 

[danisheree]

I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse. I'm happy that I was able to get all the things I wanted but this collection and Playland is about to land me on team low buy!!!
